Kids, Alcohol and Drugs: A Parents' Guide
Everything You Need to Know to Prevent Your Child from Getting Hooked—And How to Help One Who Already Is
Author: Ruth Maxwell
Overview
Substance abuse can affect any family, but prevention and timely intervention are possible. In this practical and compassionate guide, chemical dependency counselor Ruth Maxwell equips parents with the knowledge and strategies they need to protect their teens and respond effectively if problems arise.
Drawing on years of experience working with emotionally troubled teenagers, Maxwell shows parents how to recognize the early signs of abuse, move past denial, and provide meaningful support without falling into unhealthy codependent patterns.
What You’ll Learn
- How to spot the warning signs of substance abuse—and understand the power of denial.
- Ways to help teens handle the pressures of school, home, and peers that often lead to substance use.
- Insight into the most common chemicals and their effects on developing minds and bodies.
- Approaches to treatment and recovery that consider both your teen’s needs and your own role as a parent.
Praise for Kids, Alcohol and Drugs
- “Real support for parents. We especially liked the differentiation between cooperative kids who need help and non-cooperative kids needing help, as well as the distinction between parents who are helpful and those who are considered co-dependent. We will recommend Kids, Alcohol & Drugs to our Toughlove parents.” — Phyllis and David York, founders of Toughlove
- “With skill, insight, and empathy, Ruth Maxwell tackles one of the most insidious problems of our time so that parents can start their children—and themselves—on the road to recovery.” — Joyce Vedral, PhD, author of My Teenager Is Driving Me Crazy
